The Carbon advocate. [volume] (Lehighton, Pa.) 1872-1924, 1887-06-25

ravenous stomachs must have yearned for
a mouthful of meat, OF a green vegetable
or bit of fruit. The little prisoner was
released at last, God in his mercy let her
die and the doctors who examined the lit
tie stomach found nothing in it, the child
was literally starved 10 death; yet the
house in which she perished is a magni1-
cent structure bountfully endowed with
fashionable Board of Directors who are re-
ceived on visiting days by the matron in
her beautiful parlors and If she were to be
taken as a sample of the living at the But
Ter Home nothing better could be desired.
She is supposed to live on the same food as
her wards, but the finest of fowls and the
tenderest OF beef, the best Of vegetables
and fruits load the matron's table, while
the wretched wards perish on bread, mo
lasses and water. The report has createda
profound sensation in our sister city, maxi
ing 1t evident that there is yet abundant
work for the Home Missionary in the city
of churches.
Two fires have occurred in Brooklyn in
volving loss of nearly two millions; one
was proved to be the work of incendiaries
who are now in States prison, and the fire
of Hayermeyer's sugar refinery involving
the loss of at least one life and million of
dollars is also suspected to be the work Of
| incendiaries,
At Cypress Hill Cemetery a ceremony
| &c
messed in any land before, 1t was, as the
principal actor declared, new era in our
civilization. Mr.. Louis Mosquerc is aged
eighty-fve and has amassed moderate
fortune; his wife and sister are dead. and
having 10 children he concluded that the
best way to dispose of his fortune was to
rear monument TO himself. At consider
able cost he erected fine granite column
in Evergreens.. His own virtues and those
of this wife and sister have not been over
looked, and he has also left to an admiring
posterity his views in regard to the future
structure of society. He would would wipe
out all cities, no more love for him; at s.
he cannot understand why such nonsense
as love, with all its follies, should be al
lowed to exist. Perhaps when we get to
his eghJY-fve we may think so too.
About four hundred people assembled at
the dedication and it is unnecessary to say
that Mr.. Mosquero did himself full justice.
A blank is left, after rehearsing Mr.. Mos
quero's virtues, for his death, and when
that is filled up the whole thing will be
complete.
A novel suit is now before the courts in
which one Henry Eiseman is complainant
and Henry Reeg, President of the Journey
man Brewers Union, is defendant. Mr..
Eiseman gave offence to the Union and he
was expelled and his card permitting him
to work was taken away from him; for be
it known in free America a man must get
permission to work and pay for it, or with
out it he is leper and cannot earn his
daily bread. Mr.. Eiseman went from
brewery to brewery to brewery looking fol
work, but wherever he went the walking
delegate followed him and drove him oul
till at last it looked as though the man and
his family would starve TO death. AT last
driven to desperation instead of shooting
down the walking delegate he appealed tc
the law, and now he sues the Brewers
Uuion for $4,000 damages. 1t is to bt
hoped that the law of his country will af
ford Mr.. Eiseman protection while ht
labors for his wife and children, and that il
will teach his prosecutors lesson that il
will be well for them TO remember.
4 couple of weeks ago l mentioned th'
case of James Burns, the graYedigger a
Holy Cross Cemetery, whom Bishop Lough
lin of Brooklyn refused to discharge, be

, Protective Union of the K. of L. Poo
Burns held the fort; but he has had hare
time of it since then. He went to tn,
butchers to get some pigs feet and chucl
steak; but the butcher turned him out o
the shop, and refused TO sell him even
, sausage. He stepped into a saloon, anC
thought he would take a morning nip o
sour mash; the barkeeper told him whis
; key was dollar drink, so fed in alright
|
of cabbage, two bundles of wood, and SOM
r loose pickles. The grocery man refused t,
, sell him anything for love or money, as hi
: patrons were all Knights of Labor, and h,
e had been informed that if he supplied Mr.
4 Burns the X. of L. would leave him; so h
requested Mr.. Burns to carry his patronag
, to the Little Grocery around the corner
I But the Little Grocery around the corne
4 was in the same fix,-and with pocke
moderately well filed with lawful currenc
of the United States, it looked as thougl
@ he might starve to death. 1t suddenly Oc
3 Cured TO him that he hadn't been shaye
n for a week, and he said to hlmself-"Meb
e be me looks is agin me, begorra I'll &c
shaved an hav ME hair cut, av II cost IN
u fifteen cints." So he hied him to the near

a razor has just given flourish of his shear

h still digs graves and receives his regula
